We are upgrading an existing production network and will be making some major changes, but we need to keep things working in the meantime
At the moment the internal IT equipment is all on VLAN1 (native), I want to move all the internal stuff into a new switch which is going to be behind a sonicwall.
There are access points connected to the old switch that need staff who connect to be on the same lan, these APs also have guest VLAN, cameras etc. So I have created VLAN20 as staff and bridged it to the new switch. Looks like this
Office LAN: PC/servers->LANswitch->SonicWall->Mikrotik->Internet
VLAN20 bridge: StaffPhones(untagged)->AP(20)->OldSwitch(20)->Mikrotik(20)->LANswitch(untagged)->SonicWall->Mikrotik->internet
This works perfectly fine, no problems
However..... Some office equipment is still connected to the old switch. And so while we are putting new access points in and moving some office equipment over to the new switch, we still need them to work
So is there a way to bridge VLAN20 on the old switch, and VLAN1/untagged on the old switch together as well?
Everything I have tried doesn't seem to work. I don't know if my config is correct. Normally with old method I would create VLAN interface on all the physical Ethernet interfaces and just bridge everything together. But I'm trying to do this with new bridge config and problem is I can't add ether3 (which is a bridge port) and bridge it to VLAN20 interface, because ether3 is already a bridge port, can't add it twice. Can I add VLAN20 interface as a bridge port and set it as untagged on VLAN1? That doesn't seem to work
I have tried some other methods and the other problem I have is spanning tree blocks one of the ports (either ether3 or ether3.20) I think this is because it's bit Per-VLAN spanning tree. Do ubiquiti and Mikrotik support this to prevent spanning tree thinking this is a loop?
